This was an interesting look at Dooku as a Padawan and I liked the conceit of following a character over time while he interacted with new players. But like most Star Wars novels of this era, my main takeaway is how terrible Obi-Wan's life and relationships turned out to be, through very little fault of his own. Qui-Gon set him up to fail and poor Obi-Wan deserved much better. ( )

It tells how Dukoo and his friend were thirteen and were introduced to the dark side, Qui-Gon as an apprentice to Dukoo and many other hidden fact of the Jedi. ( )
